Okay....my husband and I are a young christian couple and we were trying to find names for our son.....we have learned that he has fathered a son he has never met by a woman he had met only twice...so this really hurt me but with much prayer and effort we have made it through that situation...my husband wanted his first son to be with the woman he loved, but we related it to the ABraham story and he is so set on our son being an Isaac because this boy is his promised son NOT the one (we are not sure if this other boy is his we have not heard from the woman since then)with the lady, But after all that my husband wants my son's name to be Isaac and I would like his middle name to be Marques...so Isaac Marques will be his first and middle name,my husband, and his father have marques as their middle name...Isaac means laughter and Marques means warlike? Does that go well?

I wouldn't want to name him Isaac at all because it would be a constant reminder that your husband fathered a child with another woman. Do you really want that?!

I do like the name. Just make sure you think about what you would tell your son when he asks how you came up with his name. This is bound to happen eventually, and you will have to decide if you want to tell him the whole story. Good luck!

Yes, for the reason you said, that is a horrible, bad idea. And That other child is every bit as precious as yours. It is not the kid's fault, it is your husband and another woman. You would not want to name your child in to spite another. He needs to love his child and take responsibility. That is what it sounds like to me.

I agree with the previous post. The name is fine but to say your son is the one true son over this totally innocent child doesn't sound Christian to me.

Sorry but I do think there was a misunderstanding, I will explain to my son that his mommy and daddy had a past and he is our tesimony and that is why after all the saddness and confusion he brought us laughter...hence the name Isaac, my husband is a good man he is more than willing to provide for this other child, BUT the other child does not know my husband as his father instead he calls some stranger that...this other woman has failed to contact my husband and we do feel that this may be a type of crying out because her sister told us she had broken up with her boyfriend....but we are unsure my husband has not heard of this woman since they slept together, and your right this other boy should not suffer...but we are up in the air,we don't even know if this other child is really his?? it's hard on me too cuz I had nothing to do with it..I was a virgin when I met my husband and he had a horrible past but the christian woman in me does not judge others and I refused to judge him...I have excepted this and plan on being the best stepmom I can, but we have not heard from this woman she left no # or address or even email so we can't do anything..we inturn gave her all our info. it's in her hands now?!

I like the name, but not the reasoning behind it. I suppose if both you and your husband love the name you should do it, but it seems like kind of twisted logic to me.

Twisted logic is finding that your husband has a child out there and this child's mother kept it from him for so long that was unfair to my husband...and now she has not even tried to contact us and we find this whole thing fishy cuz we don't knwo who we spoke with or anything it could all be some sick joke and I don't think it's funny....my husband had a bad relationship before he met me and we feel as though this girl who is obsesssed with him is trying to ruin our marriage and it's immaturity if you ask me...but then again I don't know what to think your prayers are appreciated!
